Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Sony WF C500's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the Sony WF C500, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety
and that of liquids is that,
Sony WF C500 has a lower liquid rating than Jabra Elite 7 Pro
The Sony WF C500 have a weight of 10.8g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
have the same weight as the Sony WF C500
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Sony WF C500 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds .
Jabra Elite 7 Pro also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Sony WF C500 have sweat resistance
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Sony WF C500 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro also have stereo speakers
Sony WF C500 sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Jabra Elite 7 Pro, and Sony WF C500 have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. The Sony WF C500 have a unit size of 5.8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF C500 by 0.2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sony WF C500's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.

less than that of Sony WF C500 by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Sony WF C500's case has a full charge of 10 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Sony WF C500 by 14 hours

The Sony WF C500 have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of Sony WF C500
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Sony WF C500 have a 9meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
longer than that of Sony WF C500 by 1meters
Sony WF C500 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Sony WF C500 will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. Sony WF C500 have 2 microphones.
While the Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8,
more than that of Sony WF C500 by 6
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds. The Sony WF C500 support fast charging. Usually, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to charge a device.
